Is that a BFR then?

Not that I know of. I'd expect the BFR inlay to be present in that case.
But at any rate, it's apparently the 2014 PDN Neptune Blue lim.ed. that I suddenly saw today without knowing the ins and outs of it.
Must find out now.

Thanks. Aye.
I couldn't afford them when they were announced nor whilst the ordering window was open, so almost forgot them and never searched for them.
However, today, with a tax return and also a bass and two amps sold, I suddenly happened upon one, after even the second ordering window (for US citizens only, if I understood correctly) was closed.

I must admit there's something about them that I find much striking. Roasted maple over neptune blue is somewhat unelegant in one way, but also modestly against the grain, and endearing and inspiring to me personally.
Me like!

Aye, the Bongos look stellar IMHO.
It was a Bongo I wanted, but I felt chanceless as the second window (that I was unaware of) closed last week.

What do you mean with "glitzy" in this case (I've already looked it up), and which bass would that be? Your blue one, or maybe the tobacco?
For me there's a huge difference between a joyful over-the-topness or some bright colours that don't take themselves too seriously, and pure bling. Hard to explain in a foreign language, but I do like the pink Daisy Rock bass in my avatar - though not because I deem it the summum of good taste in avant garde design. :D

Hey, stop pretending English is your first language... :P

That's the most heart warming thing anyone has ever said to me. Marry me, Mark!
In all seriousness, I didn't expect it to be English at all, but expected people to get the gist.

Sorry yes I meant my ClassicRay5 which has a fancy birdseye neck with a vintage tint and full gloss finish, the tobacco body is not so fancy but it is a one piece slab of ash (I think) with a top notch paint job, then it has a glossy pickguard rather than the matte of a normal Ray, all the extra chrome on the back with string thru body ferrules, battery box cover, engraved neck plate, bigger bridge and stuff overall it looks less like your average honest working mans bass.

You know, I'd never realised how large that Classic bridge is before checking after your post.
With the already ostentatious SR control plate, it can become a bit much if subdued is what one wishes for, yeah.
For more serious styling, I like the regular fiver in stealth clothing:
